Mason for Holmes

I just got offered a trade where I send Derrick Mason for Santonio Holmes and Laverneus Coles. Coles is irrelevant to the trade, so it's basically Mason for Holmes straight up. I'm very likely to make the playoffs which run from weeks 14-16. The two player's matchups are:

It looks like Mason has the better playoff matchups, while Holmes has the better matchups overall. Both players have had about the same value so far this year. Either one would be a starter as my 3rd Wr with no acceptable backup.
